"Yeah. Deseret was a country the mormons wanted to make in the 1800s."
"Oh. And who were the mormons, then?"
"Were?!" Tess asked shocked. "They still exist!"
"Wha- really? I never heard of them."
"Never heard of them?! There's millions of them all around the world! What the hell is wrong with you?"
Realizing you had made a massive blunder, you concede and stop digging your hole. "Ok, sorry. I guess I need to go out more. Anyway, who the heck are the mormons and what's Deseret all about?"
Tess sighed at your ignorance. "Basically, they're super conservative christians. They moved to the west to avoid persecution. They believe in the 2nd coming of christ, but that it'll happen in America and not Israel. They also don't like alcohol, they used to practice polygamy-"
"Polygamy, you say?" you ask intrigued.
"USED to," Tess clarified. "That was removed from their doctrine so that Utah could become a state."
"But Utah isn't a state in this timeline, which means..."
Without asking, you grab Tess and go into the machine and head into alternate Deseret.
